Aerite (Johns-Manville)

Aerite was a Johns-Manville finish.1 In sworn answers in a lawsuit in 1969, J-M described it, under the spelling "Aertite Coating," as an insulation coating: "An asphalt-asbestos coating for troweling over the outside of boiler walls."2

An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, gives Aerite as made from 1926 to 1981; 1981 is the list's own year, so it may still have been made then.1

You don't need the product names or old records. No fee unless we recover compensation for your family.
